Christine O'Donnell Interview by Dan Gaffney

In light of Christine O'Donnell's national press embargo, I present part of an interview she gave conservative talk host Dan Gaffney of WGMD, two weeks ago, during her primary race against former Delaware Governor and US Congressman Mike Castle.

In the interview, Dan Gaffney inquires about claims O'Donnell made about her success in her 2008 campaign. O'Donnell is the Republican Tea Party candidate for US Senate in Delaware and is running against liberal Democrat Chris Coons, the so-called bearded Marxist. You gotta love the teabaggers who sprinkle the word Marxist into their rhetoric like most people sprinkle salt onto their french fries.

Christine O'Donnell, who won her primary race against Mike Castle, ran a whisper campaign against him suggesting that he had a homosexual lover on the side: He is married.

When asked about it by Dan Gaffney, O'Donnell did not deny the slur, instead she confirmed that it was in a video produced by Yates Walker who worked for her campaign. O'Donnell also asserted that Yates left the campaigns "a month ago", that she found the whisper campaign "tacky", and that she does not endorse it.

Christine O'Donnell's non-denial denial speaks volumes. She did not assert Walker was not authorized to produce it or that he was not authorized to release it or that she didn't know about until it was released.

Gotta love people who use the derisive term "teabagger" to describe a phenomenon they can't understand, and that scares them.

I think most people with a dynamic sense of intellectual curiosity have a pretty good grasp on the phenomenon of incurious and undereducated. Not a lot more to understand about Teabaggers from where I sit.

Wanting a government that's not beholden to corporate inetrests, lower taxes, minding our own business overseas, etc. is not a bad thing. I support a lot of what I hear from what passes as the Teabaggers' platform. Teabaggers' approach to getting us there, however, is highly uninformed, unwise, unsophisticated, unnuanced and plain old dangerous.

Oh, also, I am unarmed and unafraid.

Fox twists a joke from 1985 into the false claim that Chris Coons is a "self-described Marxist." http://bit.ly/a1qH0p I suppose it's better to be called Marxist by the Tea Party crowd (who doesn't get called Marxist by the Tea Party crowd? Only the Tea Party crowd) than Hitler, another epithet they seems to like.

I'm beginning to get the feeling Fox News distorts intentionally.
